[Verse 1]

I have a lover

A lover like no other

She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul

And she teach me how to sing

Shows me colours when there's none to see

Gives me hope when I can't believe

That for the first time

I feel loved


[Verse 2]

I have a brother

When I'm a brother in need

I spend my whole time running

He spends his running after me

I feel myself going down

I just call and he comes around

But for the first time

I feel love


[Verse 3]

My father is a rich man

He wears a rich man's cloak

He gave me the keys to his kingdom (coming)

Gave me a cup of gold

He said "I have many mansions

And there are many rooms to see"

But I left by the back door

And I threw away the key

And I threw away the key

Yeah, I threw away the key

Yeah, I threw away the key


[Outro]

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

I feel love
